 Final Fantasy V Advance........ December 21, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
You'd think, after playing the first four Final Fantasy games(FF III taking the longest to finish), I'd be done burn out on the series. Well, thankfully, I did have a little break in there by playing Scurge: Hive & it was enough for me to recharge my batteries and get ready to play part 5. While I'll admit, it isn't my most favorite Final Fantasy...it is, however, the best Final Fantasy game I've played. No wonder it's the one Final Fantasy that alot of future FF games were based upon gameplay conceptwise. The game holds up very well by todays' standards. It's definitely worth adding to the collection.
The story is something like this....When the wind crystal suddenly shatters and causes the wind in the world to simply stop, Princess Lenna sets off to discover exactly what happened. It's not long before she's joined in her quest by Bartz, Galuf, and Faris. Together, they set off to try to prevent the world's other elemental crystals from shattering.
It's one of those RPGs that true hardcore RPG gamers shouldn't miss. I highly recomend it.
THE BEST FINAL FANTASY OF ALL December 17, 2006

What is wrong with the people who say "Not the best..." "Not here" and "Not that", heck!!! by far, this one and Final Fantasy VI are the best FFs ever done. To me, the franchise died after Square did that faillure called Final Fantasy VII, but that is another stroy. The importan here is that Final Fantasy V is maybe the best in the series and the job/class system works sweet.
Back in the day, when Final Fantasy V first came out, it was not released in the United States for the SNES because japanese executives thought "americans" were not smart enough to understand the game. Now is the time to prove them wrong. Buy this beautyful piece of videogame art!
A noteworthy game! December 9, 2006

I will not cover a lot of information since that has already been done excellently.I personally did NOT like FFVII to give you an idea of my choices. The story was compelling but there were quite a few annoying things about that game.To me FFV is classic role playing fun.The story is just right for the game. I even found a few laughs, within, which surprised me.I have not finished playing it yet but so far am I not disappointed since this is not a boring game.I would suggest using the Nintendo guide for the maps, jobs and abilities help if you like to get as much as you can from a game.
 The weakest in the series, but still good! November 14, 2006

Obviously, this isnt as good as Final Fantasy I, IV, VI, VII, or X. The storyline is possibly the weakest in the entire series and the Job system can be a bit frustrating at times. Still, it delivers all the goods that every FF game has: good, memorable characters, beautiful music, and challenging gameplay. I'm very glad to finally see this rare gem on the GBA where it belongs. If you're a hardcore FF fan, then you should definately get it, it is worth it. Now to Square/Enix: HURRY UP AND RELEASE FF6 FOR THE GBA TO!!!
Another blast from the past that doesn't disapoint November 12, 2006

Square Enix is going back in time with their latest Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS titles. First we had Final Fantasy 1 and 2 on the GBA which were brilliant recreations of the original Nintendo Entertainment System titles that started the Final Fantasy series way back when. Then last year we had the first SNES Final Fantasy game in Final Fantasy IV Advance on the GBA which recaptured the fun that really made the series a house hold staple keeping the game the same as we remember with extras added in to make it even more fun then we remembered. Final Fantasy III which was a Japanese only exclusive NES game is now on the Nintendo DS introducing a new yet old game to fans old and young.
Now with thier next title in Final Fantasy V, will Square Enix again capture the magic that made their old games so much fun? The answer is absolutely yes!
This game is a great example of why the job class system, that Final Fantasy has become well known for, is so much fun to interact with. You start out with a team of four who have to save four special elemental crystals from being destroyed. Every time a crystal does happen to be destroyed the crystals will lend the would be heroes it's powers letting them change thier classes into more powerful fighters, magic users and specialist in the hopes of saving various worlds from a great evil in the name of Exdeath.
The story can be a bit on the weakside. Besides the point of fighting evil just because they are good guys and that's what good guys do there is not much more to the story then your typical Final Fantasy situation. The real draw of the game is the idea of building your dream team of characters in the classes you want to build them into. Some of the classes most will be familiar with if you have played a Final Fantasy Tactics game. There are some new and unique ones but over all they all have their pro's and con's and let you switch between them easy enough while being able to use previously learned abilities from one job into another job.
There are your typical classes in the Knight, Black Mage, White Mage, Monk and Thief. While there are more obscure job titles like Berzerker, Dancer, Beastmaster and Bard that add a lot of originality and newness to the game as it lets you be classes that you may have never thought of being in a Final Fantasy world.
A lot of the game will focus around you leveling up due to the fact that the only way to learn new skills for your current classes are to gain job points by winning battles. Also it can get quite expensive buying equipment for all the different classes as a lot use very specific weapons like whips bows and axes while most use swords and daggers. So this game is not one that you will be able to rush through quickly if you want to get the full experience out of it.
Overall this is a great addition to any fan of a good RPG series both young and old. The story is the only weakness as it could have been a bit better but the fun of the game and your own ability to choose what type of fighters you want to use at any given time make you forget quickly of the story going on and keeps you focused on the action and having fun with the many classes to find.
With three worlds, over 20 class choices, bonus classes and dungeons not found in the original games and so much more to do in this game you definitely can't go wrong picking this up. A very worthy, yet not as well known game in the long running Final Fantasy series.
Especially with Final Fantasy VI Advance on the way, this is a great way to pass the time until it becomes available. This isn't the greatest Final Fantasy game, but it seems to fit in perfect to the portable setting it has been put into. Get it today so you too can max out all the job abilities for all the characters.
